  • Well atoms are circles and llamas are made of atoms so real llamas are also made of circles i mean spheres similar thimg anyway
  • Can't you have another set of circles perpendicular to plane, which encode when the pencil draws, allowing for discontinuous regions?
  • This makes me unnecessarily happy and giddy.

    I love Fourier series/transforms/DFTs irrationally.

    This just makes my heart leap with joy to see creative output with it.

  • - i dont understand the algorithm, can someone kindly explain

    - are all circles supposed to be one inside another?

    - is each circle always going to rotate around the bigger circle?

  • I have a bit of a hard time liking this sentence in an otherwise lovely article: "The velocity is the same as the position but imaginary instead of real."
  • If you put a read head at the tip that that could increment the phase of some circle from reading some dot it previously put down, or some similar scheme, could you make circles Turing complete?
  • Shameless plug: I made this tool years ago (predates AI) that draws arbitrary images using Fourier circles https://phqb.github.io/circle_drawing/.
